Mind Games Kingside Extrait

Description

Mind Games Kingside Extrait is a plush, creamy gourmand built on pistachio and tonka bean, balancing a bright citrus-spice opening against a cozy nutty-resinous drydown.

Composed by perfumer David Apel for niche house Mind Games and launched in 2025 as an extrait de parfum, Kingside opens with playful warmth, creamy pistachio meeting cardamom and grapefruit zest, before settling into a comforting, subtly addictive base of tonka bean, almond milk, and resinous Peru balsam. Reviewers describe it as a sophisticated yet wearable nutty gourmand, with one rating it 9/10 for scent on skin.
